We're warming up
We're taking a short pause while Ballet With Isabella steps into something new. Same world-class training. A bigger mission behind it. This next chapter is about more than ballet. It's about how you train, and how you show up – in and out of the studio.
We'll be back soon. In the meantime... keep it moving
- 32 calf rises each leg! – keep it slow and controlled
- 30 glute bridges – lengthen through the floor
- 1 minute plank - embrace the shakes!
- 4 x 30 second balances in retiré each side – if you fall, we start from the top!
- Practice your pirouettes from 5th and 4th each side. Try each turn until you feel 1 percent progress
- An arabesque each side – master it, and make it clean
- 1 minute butterfly stretch – breathe, don’t force, keep your back long and actively push the knees out
Online ballet lessons for improvers
The bridge between knowing and flowing.
You’re not starting from scratch anymore. Now it’s time to link the steps, build the confidence and make ballet feel less like pieces… and more like dancing.
Improver, also known as advanced beginner, sits between beginner and intermediate. It’s here to fill the gap: linking steps, early petit allegro, the beginnings of pirouette combinations and your first taste of grand allegro, all broken down with Isabella’s signature detail.
Isabella’s energy and passion really come across in her teaching. It’s so nice and rare to be in a ballet class and have a teacher acknowledge everyone!

Move beyond the basics with classes that help you connect barre to centre, build coordination, start travelling through space, prepare for turns and jumps, and feel ready for the step toward intermediate.
The missing middle, made clear.
You’re past the first plié, but intermediate can still feel a few counts ahead. This level gives you the in-between training most adult dancers never get.
Culture
More detail. More connection.
We slow down the tricky bits: how one step leads to another, where your weight goes, when to breathe, how to hear the music, and what your arms are supposed to be doing while your brain is politely buffering.

For dancers in the in-between
You’ll train with people building the same missing pieces: brave enough for more, smart enough not to rush. The wobble is welcome. The progress is real.
Upcoming improver intensives
Intensive weeks for improvers focused on strengthening technique, building confidence, and progressing with control.
